  • the textiles were subsequently air-dried and the wash performance was measured as the brightness of the color of these textiles. Brightness can also be expressed as the Remission (R), which is a measure for the light reflected or emitted from the test material when illuminated with white light.
  • the Remission (R) of the textiles was measured at 460 nm using a Zeiss MCS 521 VIS spectrophotometer. The measurements were done according to the manufacturer's protocol.
  • Example 8 Full scale wash results for the proteases from Bacillus sp.
  • the wash performance of the protease from Bacillus sp. was tested in full scale wash. The wash performance was tested on 14 different stains at 90nM in laundry liquid model detergent B.

  • Model B liquid detergent Storage stability of protease variants in Model B liquid detergent was evaluated by mixing protease with detergent and measuring residual protease activity after 0, 2-2.5 and 23-25 hours incubation at 32 or 35°C. All variants were tested in duplicates and SEQ ID NO 3 reference culture supernatants were included on all plates. 30 ⁇ culture supernatant containing a protease variant (or SEQ ID NO 3, reference) was mixed with 270 ⁇ Model B liquid detergent in the well of a microtiter plate (Nunc U96 PP 0.5 ml) using a magnetic bar (on Zephyr pipetting station (Caliper LifeSciences) for 30 min).
